First time out
 
took the new new toy out today for the first time since I test drove it in AZ.

picked up some 30p B1's out of the classifieds and ran a 95 on gps, 5000 rpm. First cat and I love it!

what small simple mods can I do with 500 efi's to pick up some speed? :readinghelp: boat has extension boxes.

any of the below will work depending on your budget.

hp adds first...
raise x up.....
add prop blades to get the boat to bite when you raise x too high...

nose cones or sportmaster lowers will gain some mph.

me..... I would get the shortest shorties I could find and put them on and start dinging with the props and get it as fast as I could that way FIRST..... Then some winter start modding the engines depending on just how fast you want to go.....because I like to relax at the lake, I don't have a team of guys around to change out extra motors when i pop them..... keep the engines as turn key as you are willing to for speed.

If I am running a 1:50 drive with a 30p @ 5000rpm would I gaing anything out of a 1:36 (mph)?

Im going to put a pair of shorties for this summer. What can I expect from this? 3-4 mph?? or I am I dreaming......:eek:

at this power, you will slow down by going to 1.36 gears... you don't want to change gears until you need to go higher than 34 props. depending on where your x is now i think you can get 3-4 or more by raising your x...

what's the max hight for the X? the center of my prop shaft is about 1" higher than the bottom the sponson. If I put 2" shorties on that would bring me to 3" higher????? this is new to me....

Thanks


Phil
